Lord Save my soul!!! Dave is and has always been and always will be my all time favorite musician, entertainer and singer. He and his music has truly held my heart and soul captive since the first time I heard him sing ....many moons ago. God Bless you Dave for the joy you have given me and so many others over the years
Holy doodle! Pull your claws in, people! This is a Canadian comedy sketch show, SCTV. It's a hoot to see Dave Edmunds doing one of his hits on here. He's so great. So, satire, humour, yeah?
@@IanGee-007 listen to 1:49 on this video. his phrasing is subtly different than on the studio recording. I stand by my original comment, i believe the vocals are live here. Also when his mouth moves slightly away from the mic you can tell.
@@johnlane2010 There are no amps or leads, so obviously the instruments are not being played live. In film and television it is common practice to record the backing track and visuals separately to reduce the chances of errors. It's possible that the vocals were recorded at the time of filming, but as everything else in this clip is so fake, I doubt it.
@@whitedevilpellingra7803 Bruce wrote and recorded it in 1979 for his 1980 album The River but it ended up one of the 30 songs he recorded but left off the album. He decided to give it to Dave Edmunds after seeing one of Dave's shows in New Jersey and Dave released his version in 1982. Bruce eventually released his original 1979 recording of it in 2015. Bruce did that sort of thing often back then. For example: Because the Night and Fire from 1978.
Bruce Springsteen... A Communist?!? Do you know how much MONEY that "Commie" has generated over the last 50 years for band members, roadies, promoters, riggers, truck drivers, merchandisers, etc.?!?!? A lot, pal. A LOT!!! 🇺🇲
So if a guy from France made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you would say it's French. No it's a typical American sandwich made by a guy from France. This is typical American Rock and roll played by a guy from Wales.
Springsteen wrote it as a late 1950s Chuck Berry type song. So I would think that makes it an American type music- like most of Dave Edmunds recordings. Dave even sings with an American accent (like most rock and rollers from his period).
Dave was always the coolest rocker🤔
Definitely in my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for all the great music Dave.
Dave edmunds is so underated , absolute genius. one of the best british rock n rollers alongside the great Billy Fury.
Great song
Two of my favorites together- SCTV and Springsteen songs.

Micky Gee, Best guitar player to come out of Wales. Gone too soon.
What a voice! What guitar playing! What presence!
I remember loving this on SCTV, 1982/83.
Dave is a ledgend
Produced a lot of shakin stevens early stuff.
Was with rockpile.
And helped the straycats to become what they are.
Also see Geraint Watkins and Mickey Gee ??!!
And Dave Charles and John David.

GREAT STUFF. DAVE, I STILL LUV YA. ❤❤
Rock n Roll REMEMBER that !
never tire of dave too kool
Nice to see Sean Penn on bass
Wow , I had forgotten about this gem. Thanks for posting
Tolle Musik! 👍
The sketch was mocking Red baiting, which makes it even more topical now than when it was made. Also, it rocks. Happy 77th Dave!
Yes, note Eugene Levy's VI Lenin make-up.
Geraint Watkins on piano...
This guy looks like the 'great,' Dave Edmunds.
Huh....I wonder if THAT'S the reason they say "Dave Edmunds" in the title.
That is one helluva band.
The best recruiting ad for being a commie there ever was...love Comrade Davey Edmunds..
wow
wooooooooot woooooooot
This brings back great memories... and they recorded it live? Or it seems live- its close to the album version but you can tell the vocals seem live
It's miming over the original recording.
